Directions
- The circuit is best approached from the M1 at either Junction 23a or 24 and then following the highway agency signs to "Donington Park". From the North West it is also possible to pick up the sign from the A50. On arrival at the circuit all traffic should enter near the main car park adjacent to the Donington museum.
History
- This specatacular circuit was constructed during 2007 for the MX Grand Prix held on August Bank Holiday. Top track builder, Justin Barclay, used thousand of tons of soil to construct the circuit for that event. Now Justin has been engaged by Donington Park Leisure Ltd and ACU Events Ltd to use the knowledge he gained from watching the racing at the GP to develope overtaking lines even more. The whole of the paddock is now adjacent to the circuit which also allows specatators free access and the viewing areas have been enhanced with the old finish plateau opened up to allow 100% viewing.
